Especially in todays climate, and with all productions now required by AEA to have anti harassment/anti discrimination policies in place, with reporting and investigotary ground rules - its crucial that acts that seem to violate these policies and norms be reported immediately. Usually to Company Manager/General Manager - and copied to AEA via the deputy.
All of these policies now in place have very strong language forbidding retaliation of any kind for the reporting of what a performer (or technician, or stage hand, or designer) feels is abusive behavior.
Early reporting is crucial. |
